Baptism Type
============

Located on the Membership tab,
this Condition is looking at the Baptism Type on a person's Member Profile tab.
If you are using the Membership Process in TouchPoint,
this is set automatically when the person's Decision is recorded.

.. note::
    You can also find Decision information (and drill down to the
    details in Search Builder) from the Decision Summary Report.

The Standard Baptism Types are as follows
(Note: these can be different for your database if your Admin has changed them):

-  **Not Specified**
    This is the default that will be on all records until a baptism is recorded.
    So, if a person joins and is already baptized, this will stay Not Specified.
-  **Original**
    This is assigned to a person who makes a profession of faith for membership in the church.
-  **Subsequent**
    This is the one type of baptism that is changed manually and it happens
    if a person who has been baptized previously realizes that
    they were not actually saved prior to that baptism.
-  **Biological**
    This type is assigned if a person, who makes a profession of faith,
    is less than 16 years old, and has at least one parent who has been a
    church member for more than 1 year. 
-  **Non-Member**
    This type is assigned if the person makes a profession of faith not for membership.
-  **Required**
    This type is assigned if the person's decision is Statement Requiring Baptism.
